Clarke Schmidt made a triumphant return to the Yankees' pitching rotation, leading his team to a 2-0 victory over the Cubs.
Schmidt showed no signs of rust after a long injury, limiting the Cubs to just four hits in his 75-pitch outing.
The win extends the Yankees' streak of winning seasons to 32, a record only surpassed by the Yankees themselves in a previous era.
As the playoffs approach, the Yankees are faced with a good problem: having too many talented starting pitchers to fit into their rotation.
